K Raheja Corp has launched ‘Reverse Mentoring’, a people-focused learning initiative designed to encourage meaningful dialogue between senior leaders and younger employees across the organisation.

Building a progressive and future-ready workplace

The programme is designed to create a workplace environment where learning flows across different levels of the organisation. Through the initiative, senior leaders gain perspectives on emerging trends, workplace expectations, customer behaviour, technology, digital transformation, AI, communication shifts, and future-ready skills, while younger employees get access to leadership conversations and insight into decision-making processes.

Introduced across the Group’s businesses

The programme has been introduced across the Group’s businesses, including Mindspace REIT, Chalet Hotels, Inorbit Mall, and K Raheja Corp Homes. As part of the program, senior leaders participate as mentees, while mid to junior level employees take on the role of mentors. Leaders identify areas where they want to gain new perspectives, and employees volunteer as mentors based on their knowledge, interests, and experience. The HR team then pairs participants by matching common themes and learning goals.

Structured as a long-term learning initiative

Following the successful completion of its first cohort, Reverse Mentoring will continue as a long-term learning and development initiative within the organisation. Each mentor–mentee pair participates in approximately four to six one-on-one sessions over three to four months. The sessions are informal, flexible, and focused on practical as well as strategic themes that are relevant to the future of work.

Encouraging openness and collaboration

The initiative is aimed at creating a stronger culture of openness, collaboration, and continuous learning. It also gives employees a platform to share their ideas, be heard by senior leadership, and contribute meaningfully to the organisation’s growth journey.

Leadership speaks on the initiative

Speaking on the initiative, Urvi Aradhya, Group CHRO, K Raheja Corp, said, “Through Reverse Mentoring, we are creating a space where leaders can learn directly from the perspectives of younger employees. It helps us bring outside-in thinking, new-age learning, and honest feedback into leadership conversations. At the same time, it gives our younger workforce access to leaders’ time and a better understanding of how decisions are made. This initiative reflects our focus on building a more connected, collaborative, and future-ready organisation where every voice has value.”

Part of a wider learning and development ecosystem

Reverse Mentoring is part of K Raheja Corp’s broader learning and development framework, alongside initiatives such as I-GROW for individual contributors, I-LEAD for early-career managers, leadership programmes including Shikhar and Future-Forward, and initiatives such as Sheroes and PowHER focused on women’s leadership and career growth across the organisation.
